2001, heavy January or February snowfall at Loveland Basin. I had just returned to the mountains after spending some time in Colorado Springs doing the IT thing.

Lift 9 was basically brand new and I caught a real early chair up on a bluebird day. It was a 12 or 14inch morning and I cut fresh all the way down Patrol Bowl. I felt like a dolphin cutting in and out, bouncing and flying.

Hit the headwall and dropped the 30ft straight into so.much.powder. Rode it out like a hero. Heard the cheers from the lift and man, that was the best feeling EVER. It was the best run of my life and I've had epic days at Vail, Breck and Copper also. Nothing like that first run that bluebird morning though.

edit: 2001 was an incredible year in the Colorado mountains. That was the year of the "St. Patty's blizzard". I lived in Lawson that winter (little wide spot on I-70) and that blizzard put literally 6ft of snow in my front yard. I'm 6ft tall and it was as tall as I was. I shoveled us out three times that night so we wouldn't get trapped in the cabin with it's opening-out front door and no porch roof to speak of. No one went skiing for days after that blizzard but we did get to ride snow machines up and down I-70. Made sure the neighbors were alright, dug out a volunteer firefighter's truck in case he got a call, ate a lot of chili. Good times and the favorite memories of my life.

I like that idea, I'll have to search how to do that.

Huh, weird. DE? I've used it to filter beer at a small brewery and I use it as a natural insecticide.

Nice, recycling. I like the structured feeling of the floor mat towel but have definitely used yesterday's towel when necessary.

 

I've used a towel style bath mat for decades, I think it's the most hygenic. It goes on the floor to shower, then gets hung to dry between showers.

I lay floors and hadn't seen a "permanent" bath mat in years but ran into one today. It was that typical shag rug style, bright pink. This was a clean house but it was strange to me, I didn't think anyone used those anymore.

It's everywhere, but not all devices have the radio

Not many want to fight for the autocracy either. Bunch of slack-ass soldiers. Fight for freedom? You'll get people volunteering.

Youngest just turned 18, they all three used to like Tesla and Space X, now they think he's a transphobic asshole.

They don't seem to understand his influence on the country though, like he's just a joke

God may have invented the human anus, but the internet made them equal.

Using it for athletic reasons is valid also. Shit's just too expensive for me.
